The list continues to grow.
There's been that many things it's hard to remember them all. So I tried doing it the other way round and aside from a doomed from the start attempt to get back in the premiership I can't think of another thing that they've done to benefit the club. And before some smart arse says broke the ridiculous rent agreement with ACL I'd point out the immeasurable damage caused by the method SISU used to do it, I struggle to see a nett gain from it. Financially and morally and what this added to the long term sustainability of the club. Indeed if anything our opportunities have been greatly reduced by SISU's tactics to the point where we do actually need to build anew now and I think we all know SISU are never going to oversee that.
Complete the signing of TM??

Well most of us would say yes at this stage, but if he gives Barton a new contract and signs a few more donkeys we might be saying differently. Remember people are not judged on the potential, it is what they actually achieve. TM has just done enough to be given a go and it is only just enough.
Until sisu turn us into a mid table championship team, with an average attendance of 20k, with a contract stating the club will have a home in Coventry for the next 40 years, then they get no credit from me.
Congratulating someone for slightly reducing a mess they've created is like an arsonist wanting credit for calling the fire brigade about a building he's just torched.

I don't think they'd done that at the time of that post but yes that would be a good thing although signing a decent manager is also the least we should expect from our owners. Regardless of who they happen to be.

Go on Tony, tried to give the club some credit for a change. Mowbray will be a fantastic appointment and one I'm sure not even you saw coming.

Agreed Hobo, but would you not agree that keeping us up this year is good for the club and the potential future of our club, as i'm convinced we would be playing in league 2 if he hadn't signed a short term contract (this is what i was getting at when i said the signing of TM) we can only but wait and see what he has planned for us, but i'm more optimistic than i have been for some time at present, don't get me wrong, I want SISU gone as much as the next person, however, this is a good signing by the owners, IMHO
The only thing SISU should have got credit for was their initial investment plan with Ranson as Chairman and players like Dann, Fox, Westwood, Gunnarsson etc acquired on the cheap.
From the moment they bottled it though anyone that had a clue left. The club has been a circus ever since and their conduct disgusting. Pretending to run the club while secretly concentrating all their efforts on destressing ACL and stealing the Ricoh. All the while City fans handing over their hard earned and watching on in despair as their club is dragged through the dirt.
Even now, nearly two years after they officially moved on, they are taking the piss with legal procedures and complaints.
Any praise for them seems more like Stockholm syndrome! My family gave up their season tickets the season before the Northampton debacle and won't be returning to the Ricoh until they're gone.

That is entirely where it went wrong.
The first priority should have been getting the Ricoh.
Named some decent players there, but only Dann really Premiership quality, forgetting the dross also aquired on unsustainable contracts, and the perserverence with a useless manager.
If Sisu had played the same tactics with CCC/Higgs when they first came in as they did latterly then they would have been acclaimed by you(and the majority) for doing so as the "hard nosed business people" that we needed.
Who can say that their valuation of ACL was wrong when you look at the price that it was sold for?
Why couldn't they have both put in a fair offer for the Ricoh and invested in the team? Do the two need to be mutually exclusive?
My only point is that I was happy with their investment strategy on the pitch up until then - nothing wrong with a hard nosed business strategy in the transfer market.
The underhand way in which they tried to acquire the Ricoh while also disgregarding the club is a completely different thing and something I would obviously never condone. This issue transcends football and is one of the many reasons people feel alienated from the club now.
Their valuation was wrong. Wasps have paid about 20m. They didn't want to pay anywhere near that. And they even took us to Northampton to devalue it.
So why only mention a couple of players then?
Why not also congratulate Ray on;
Stephen Wright
Guillame Beuzilin
James McPake
The big signing -- Freddie Eastwood
Clinton Morrisson
David Bell
All signed in season one

The owners of ACL had no choice but to sell and luckily for them - unlucky for us - Wasps was ready to buy.
Move a team 80 miles?Luck has nothing to do with it. SISU should have made an offer. They had over 7 years to do what Wasps did in months.

What does that have to do with the strategy of our owners except make it easier for another company to step in and grab it from under their noses?
I thought sisu were some kind of super company the way some of you defend them, and now blame wasps Acl CCC Higgs or anyone else who happens to come along for their own incompetent behaviour .
So by Nick mocking wasps he is saying SISU are a super company.
You use the same old fucking tired line constantly but I cant seem to see all these people who support them. You know by criticising wasps doesnt make you a SISU super fan dont you :facepalm:
Well it definitely doesn't make me a super Sisu fan :facepalm:
or even a fan.
